Abstract
Description
Born and raised in Cleaborn Homes, Joyce Johnson shares how the neighborhood has changed over time. She says people stopped looking out for one another. At the time, it felt like a community; neighbors had block parties, they helped each other out, and she felt safe. That changed as people aged and drugs were introduced.
